Abstract
Because of their flavor, nutritional content, and health-promoting qualities, citrus fruits (genus citrus) are grown and consumed all over the world. The main types of bioactive substances found in citrus, such as flavonoids, limonoids, carotenoids, phenolic acids, vitamin C, essential oils, and dietary fibers (pectin), are summarized in this article.
Natural phytochemicals called flavonoids provide therapeutic benefits and help prevent a number of diseases. These phytochemicals are primarily present in citrus fruits, but they are also present in seeds, cereals, tea, coffee, wine, and chocolate. The primary bioactive ingredients in citrus fruits are flavonoids, which have several health benefits, particularly antidiabetic ones.
Citrus flavonoids are extremely bioactive substances that have antibacterial, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties, among other health advantages.
Bioactive phenolic chemicals found in citrus peels provide a number of health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, antibacterial, and antidiabetic properties.
Additionally, the wound-causing microbes (S. aureus, E. coli, streptococcus pyogenes, and E. faecalis) are affected by bioactive substances such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, essential oils, limonoids, and vitamins.
